@ Maintainer(s): Please tell us when we can start stabilization of =x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-390.12 or CC arches on your own.

Comment 2 kuzetsa CatSwarm (kuza for short) 2018-01-09 17:35:06 UTC

[Non-]minor note: Any masking which is done should not block 384.111, etc. for hardware which doesn't run on 390.x branch. The maintainer is unlikely to make this mistake even if the CVE bot didn't understand the nuance.

390.12 is a beta and is not going stable at all.

Fixed versions are stable.

@maintainer(s), please clean the vulnerable versions or put a mask in place noting the security vulnerability.

Unable to check for sanity:

Last vulnerable 384 branch ebuilds were dropped March 2018 in bb2396e7bba.

Tree clean, too old for GLSA.
